Solar Windows, a specialist commercial window contractor based in South Wales, has adopted 20 new Farizon SV large vans to deliver windows across the country.

Supplied by Waterton Motor Group, Farizon’s authorised dealership in Bridgend, the new fleet includes 14 L1H1 vans, three L2H2 variants and three L3H3 models.

The vans replace the company’s existing fleet of diesel-powered vehicles, with plans for the remaining 25 to go electric within a year.

Solar Windows will base the vans across its three sites in Caerphilly, Devon and Nottingham, supported by bespoke racking fitted to the largest L3H3 vans and onsite charging already installed at the three locations.

With a range of up to 247 miles (WLTP Combined), the SV will exceed Solar Windows’ daily usage requirements.

Carl Lewis, managing director and company owner at Solar Windows, said being sustainable is a vital part of the business.

“I wanted to grow our green credentials when bidding for tenders, and electric vans are a crucial way to do this.

“The Farizon SV meets all of our requirements. While payload is important for our operation, the look and feel of the products are great. I was really impressed when I first looked around the vans at the Installer Show, and following the loan of a demonstrator and a highly competitive deal, I knew I had found the right vans for our fleet.”

Calum James, general manager of Farizon Auto UK, added: “With an impressive electric powertrain, high levels of space and capability, and very generous kit levels as standard, it’s great to see businesses such as Solar Windows choose the Farizon SV for their operations. From its inception, the SV was designed and built for business, so it’s great to see them being used as intended.”
